Dear Families,
Room 411 showed their Ray Spirit this week! A big thanks to everyone who participated and helped make this week extra special. We also continued to study different versions of The Gingerbread Man. This week we compared how tall we are with large and small gingerbread people. We asked questions like, "Why am I more gingerbread tall when the gingerbread people are small?" We also did a cool science experiment to figure out why a gingerbread man can't actually go into the water. We looked at five different objects and how they respond to water. The preschoolers made excellent predictions and enjoyed watching the gingerbread cookie break into pieces. Next week we will finish up our Gingerbread Unit with a culminating celebration on Friday December 22nd. The children are super excited for our Gingerbread Celebration. We are counting down the days. We still need volunteers to assist in decorating our gingerbread cookies. If you are willing to assist please sign up on the sign in sheet (Morning Class 10:30-11:00, Afternoon Class 2:30-3:00). We are looking forward to our field trip to the Chicago Children's Musuem. If you are volunteering we will have strict guidelines for everyone to follow. We must ensure that everyone is safe and enjoying the museum exhibits. We are predicting that Navy Pier will be very busy and we will navigate to and from the museum as a group. More information for volunteers will be forthcoming! We are trying our best to keep the students healthy by washing hands, disinfecting the room and using our cough catchers. However, we understand that students will still get sick. Please make sure that you are sending a note when your child returns so that they are not receiving unexcused absences. Please remember, that children must be free from fever, vomiting, and/or diarrhea a full 24 hours before returning to school. Upcoming Events:
